On June 16, 2007, Dave Malkoff investigated cloud seeding, a controversial weather modification technique used to increase rainfall in areas experiencing droughts. In Los Angeles County, faced with water shortages, officials were investing $800,000 in an attempt to generate rain through cloud seeding. Christopher Stone from LA County Public Works explains how the process involves injecting tiny particles into clouds to encourage the formation of raindrops.
The segment also features Cheryl Johnson, a local resident who shares her perspective on the project, as the county hopes to tackle its ongoing water crisis. While cloud seeding has been used for decades, its effectiveness and environmental impact remain debated. The county is moving forward with the project, despite the uncertainty and risks, including potential flooding and mudslides, as seen in a cloud seeding experiment in the 1970s.
This story aired on CBS2 in Los Angeles on June 16, 2007.
